Comments from former residents:
"When I arrived at GSS, I was in a very difficult financial position, and totally at a loss as to what to do. Fortunately, and never had a concern about losing my dignity. I was provided for with food and bed in a quality and private environment. Art, my house manager; Nate, the ED; Tim, the Case Manager; and Dan, the administrator, were always available with a kind word. Direction and support were always provided in a fair and reasonable way. My time with GSS has been productive and truly delightful, especially considering the circumstances under which I arrived! Thanks to all." "Good Samaritan is a good place, I recommend it to anybody that needs help." "It has been a pleasure staying at GSS and to have met the people in the office and in the shelter. Will continue to seek employment and would consider moving in to GSS transitional housing in the future." "The shelter is a great place to be for a homeless person to go if you are in that situation." "I definitely would help and support this organization for what they have established here so far and recommend them to anyone in need and wants a chance to really get on their feet because they are welcoming and friendly and will really assist you. I had great ambitions and was motivated from my first day at the shelter. I found a job a few days after being at the shelter! So if you really want to apply yourself, doors will definitely open up for you. I loved it here and in my opinion they're the best around!" "I am grateful for the opportunity to stay at GSS." "I found that over time I needed a lot of time to get myself to the place of having some sense of purpose... my time in Phoenixville has allowed me to see that my life isn't over and perhaps worth living..." “Good Samaritan Shelter has been extremely helpful. They have helped me with food, resumes, jobs etc. It is like unlike any other program I have ever seen. It has opened my eyes to see how good people can be. When you show effort and enthusiasm, there are so many people that are willing to donate their time to help you.” “Good Samaritan Shelter has given me more direction in my life. I didn’t really know where I was going before I came here. All the counseling and being sober has been helpful beyond belief. I didn’t realize I could get the help that I have gotten.” “Good Samaritan Shelter has given me a network of people that I have met who are in the program and people on the outside. It has helped me with career counseling and resumes. The people at the shelter have opened doors for me in the business world. It has given me a chance to financially get stable again. It has renewed my faith in people. I have seen a lot of love, generosity, support, and the willingness to help. People really want you to become a success. I don’t feel alone anymore. I have a new faith and hope. I have been able to go to church and renew my faith in Christianity.” |
